Crank your oven to broil. Get that top heating element screaming hot. It should be like looking into the sun.
Line a baking sheet with foil. Why? Because you don’t want to scrub lobster guts off your pan at 10 PM. It’s a life lesson.
Place the lobster halves on the foil, shell-side down. This is crucial. If you put meat-side down, it sticks to the foil and you cry. We don’t want crying. We want butter.
